To produce this dryer drum, we retooled an existing line to accommodate a new dryer model and provide a more efficient operation. We replaced the existing gap expander, as well as adding a hemming and curling station. We designed the hemming operation to be performed with one pneumatic-actuated tool versus two hydraulic actuated tools featured in the original line.
This Dishwasher Basket started life as a mere welded matt. Our solution then provided all the forming, welding and trimming needed to evolve this workpiece into a complete basket ready for coating. This automated solution utilizes no operators until the completed basket emerges from the line.
The Coldwater facility provides solutions for manufacturing a wide range of metal cabinets that include total solutions from metal blanks to finished cabinets including operations like stamping, trimming, forming, embossing, piercing, welding, wrapping, bending and hemming.
From stainless steel coil stock and flexible robotic blank handling to laser welded wrapper to finished assembly with balance rings, our Coldwater operations can provide a total solution for white good manufacturing such as laundry baskets.
